office to encourage us to incorporate some exercise into our daily work routine. Sandra
Maxwell of personnel has taken on responsibility for the fitness-at-work program at the
Lakewood facility. She has nominated me to set up a walking group , to be known as

better place to take a walk?

walk together along the footpaths for at least twenty minutes. There will be two walks
each day , one at • 2:30 P.M. , led by me , and the second at 1:00 P.M. , led by Jim Dixon.

staff who enroll in Walk at Work to receive a ten percent discount on membership at
Lakewood Fitness Center , a state-of-the-art fitness complex with gyms , a swimming
pool , and exercise classes.

We think this is a great idea , and we hope you will too , so why not join us? You can

Happy walking!

Dear Ms. Cha:

I very much enjoyed your talk at the International Conference on Public Architecture in Mumbai
I especially appreciated your assessment of the competing demands of function , budget , and public
expectations on municipal projects.

Our firm has recently been awarded the contract for the design of a large public swimming facility here
in Singapore , and I think that our staff would be most interested in your remarks. It would provide useful
discussion points

Would it be possible to obtain a copy of your speech and reproduce twenty copies for our internal use
only ? We would not distribute any part of it outside the company without first obtaining permission from
you , nor would we include any part of it in any of our presentations to external bodies without your
permission and without acknowledgement of you as the author.

It might be that you have plans to publish the material in some form in a journal or trade magazine.
If that is the case , I understand that you would not want to release it to us. In that event , would you please
inform me when and where it wilI be published?

Thank you very much for your consideration and for a superb presentation.

Sincerely,

Questions 177-180 refer to the following article.

NEW TRENDS IN RETAILING

In past years retailers in North Am erica have sounded a consistent

theme: Bigger is better. Superstores increased in number and spread
rapidly , often at the expense of smaller , family-owned retail stores.
Today these superstores are more than 50 percent larger than in the
1980’ s and can be over 30 ,000 square meters in size.

But small retail stores are now making a comebac k. Many of the
largest retailers have begun experimenting with small-store formats.
Rather than operating the small stores as separate outlets , though , the
companies are managing all the stores in an area together as a closely
knit network. By distributing small outlets throughout an area , a
retailer can guarantee that one of them will almost always be closer to a
given shopper than the superstore at the edge of town. Moreover , small
stores are often located within walking distance of public transportation ,
and , once inside , customers can easily find the products they are
looking fo r.

One advantage of the big stores has been the variety of products
they are able to carry because they are so large. One way that has been
found to increase variety in small stores is to use electronic kiosks for
online shopping. Al though the number of products in the stores is
small , there are enough actual items to inform customers about the
range 하ld quality of products. Customers are then offered computer
access to a Web site that provides the full product line .

With regard to costs , small stores that are managed as networks

have become as inexpensive to operate as superstores. By combining
the orders of these stores , for instance , retailers can take advantage of
the full- truckload delivery price rather than incur the higher cost of
partial truckload deliveries .

To: Editors of Eat Ríght Magazíne

As a long-time subscriber to Eat Ríght M쟁azíne， 1 have frequently sampled your recipes and
must credit you with some excellent results. Your recent April-May issue was, as always,
packed with health y, delicious meals, many of which 1 have already prepared at home.

Several days ago, however, 1 attempted to make the apple and celery salad from the recipe
on page 57 of the magazine in the Healthy, Quick, and Easy section. While the salad was
fla、Torful， 1 was not satisfied with the recipe for two reasons. First, it should be noted that
a salad containing 100ml of mayonnaise, to be divided among eight servings, is not
particularly healthy. 1 was surprised to find a recipe with so much mayonnaise in an Eat
Ríght recipe. Second, while the directions suggested that five minutes' preparation time was
sufficient, 1 found the time to be underestimated by quite a bi t. Finely slicing so much celery
and so many apples was quite time consuming and certainly took longer than five minutes
You might a이ust this assessment when you publish this recipe in the future.

1 look forward to receiving the next issue of Eat Right Magazíne , and 1 hope that it will
contain more of the simple, nutritious recipes that 1 have come to expect

Sincerely,

Francesca 8ertolini

Questions 186-190 refer to the following notice and billing statement.

Estimated B iII s
Although we try to read your gas meter every month , there are times when we simply
cannot. We may not be able to access it if there is no one at your home to let us in.
Weather conditions sometimes make it unsafe for meter readers to do their job. And
meters do occasionally malfunction , making an accurate reading impossible.

When your meter is not actually read , you will receive an estimated bill. The estimate is
based on weather trends and how much energy you have used in the past. When we
are unable to get an actual meter reading , you will see the word “ estimated" printed
next to the meter reading on your bill.

Estimates can be avoided if you send us a reading that you have taken yourself.
Here are two ways to help prevent an estimated bill.

Call us with your meter reading at 1-800-555-1991. The best time to call is one day
before your scheduled meter-reading day. (Your meter-reading date appears on page
one of your Newtown Gas Company bill.)

Go to our Web site at www.newtowngasco.com/meter to send us your meter

reading. Send your reading at least one day before your scheduled meter-reading day.

If you use either of these two methods to provide us with your reading , you will see the
words “ customer reading" next to the reading on your bill. If your meter readings have
been estimated for four straight months , you must call us with your meter reading.

Dear Sir or Madam:

1 am writing with regard to damage to my suitcase incurred during a recent trip to ltaly. 1 was traveling
from Milan to Gatwick Airport on Jetline flight JT23 on May 14 , and on picking up my suitcase from
the baggage claim at Gatwick , 1 found that the latch was badly damaged and the handle had become
detached from the suitcase on one side. 1 reported this to the Jetline office at Gatwick and completed
a property-irregularity form.

1 have had thε suitcase lookεd at by a localluggagε retailer , Simpsons Limited , to see if they could repair
it. They feel that they can only partially repair it (enclosed is a copy of their estimate) , and they would
suggest a replacemen t. 1 would therefore be pleased if you could reimburse me for the cost of a new
suitcase as indicated in Simpsons ’ estimate. Due to the amount of damage to the suitcase , 1 was unable
to travel from the airport by public transport as planned and had to take a taxi. 1 would also ask you to
reimburse me for the taxi fare , which was f45.00.

Yours sincerely ,
